CHAPTER 14 NAT 14.1 Overview NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is changed to a different IP address known within another network. The figure below is a simple illustration of a NAT network. You want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses to the devices (A to D) connected to your NBG6616. The ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet. All traffic coming from A to D going out to the Internet use the IP address of the NBG6616, which is 192.168.1.1. Figure 75 NAT Example A: 192.168.1.33 FTP, Telnet, SNMP Ports 21 to 25 LAN WAN B: 192.168.1.34 Port 80 192.168.1.1 C: 192.168.1.35 IP address assigned by ISP Note: You must create a firewall rule in addition to setting up NAT, to allow traffic from the WAN to be forwarded through the NBG6616. 14.1.1 What You Can Do • Use the General screen to enable NAT (Section 14.2 on page 117). • Use the Port Forwarding screen to set a default server and change your NBG6616's port forwarding settings to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network (Section 14.3 on page 117).
